The Confederate Monument in Union City, Tennessee, also known as First Monument to Unknown Confederate Dead, is a simple marker erected in 1869 in a cemetery that was the burial site for the remains of 29 unidentified Confederate combatants killed in the American Civil War. It is about {{convert|40|ft|m}} tall.[2] Dedicated on October 21, 1869, it was one of Tennessee's first Confederate monuments.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.[1]

It is asserted to be the first monument to honor unknown Confederate dead.[3]

Union City also has a Confederate monument erected in 1909 with a dedication that reads:

To The Confederate Soldier of Obion County

Who Was Killed In Battle

Who Was Starved In Federal Prison

And Who Has Preserved Anglo-Saxon Civilization In The South[2]
